Loteria Grill

I tried all 12 of the tacos on the menu last night. At $12 it was a pretty good deal. My two faves were the potato taco and the shredded beef. The Papa con Rajas- was vegetarian, light and flavorful. Potatoes with roasted Poblano peppers were served with finely chopped onion, cilantro, Queso Fresco and salsa verde. The Carne Deshebrada had brisket-like shredded beef served with fresh guacamole, salsa chipoltle, finely chopped onion and cilantro.

The Probaditas Sampler is brilliant, as far as I'm concerned. It caters to customers that want to try a little of everything and still be able to walk out the door. All 12 of their tacos come on a plate, each served on mini hand-made tortillas. There were 4 types of vegetable tacos, 3 chicken, 2 beef and 3 pork. See the menu for details.

We also had Guacamole y Chips to start. Win really liked the creaminess of it. Beers and the side of Platano Frito (fried plantains) helped cool my tongue in between spicy taco tasting. It was a fun evening at Loteria Grill.Loteria Grill 6627 Hollywood Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90028323. 465 2500
